Palace fan

Of course it does - spent a long time in Gosforth and while I'm about as far from local as you can get I understand. The reference was to PSG and that I imagine is where he sees himself - Toon are a few years out from that, no? Is that realistic? Consider that he has only just over one complete season in the PL and has the best goals per minute in the league with pens stripped out bar Haaland. Only just getting going imo - the goals are a new development this season. Last time around he had same figures for assists - he's adding to his game all the time. One footed (very) but there's been a few good's like that. And you need to remember he's been producing these numbers for Palace

Hi there Long time lurker - signed up because I suspect there'll be a few Palace rumours going and I've always enjoyed this forum. The Olise injury record is fine imo - got one horror muscle injury in game and then was rushed back by Roy. Not a sick note. Think your concern should be other. If he goes to you it would be with a release clause as a stepping stone club I very much suspect. He'd fill a hole for you on the right and would be a major upgrade on anything you have but he'll be one to pass through and not build a club around. The boy is ambitious with talent to match. Of all our buys he came as the least heralded but was the only one to insist on a release clause. Yep, you're a big club and will get bigger but I rather think he's aiming higher than you're likely to go in the near foreseeable. Clue is he speaks French!!! Don't take this as an attitude problem. The attitude is great - you don't get voted players' player of the season if it isn't and Freedman specialises in bringing players with the right attitude, which is partly why he so's successful.
